GAZA STRIP (Dispatches) -- At least 70 Palestinians have been martyred and 275 others injured in Israeli attack across Gaza in the last 48 hours, the enclave’s Ministry of Health reported on Saturday.

Additionally, emergency teams recovered another seven bodies from the rubble over the last two days.

The latest figures have pushed the overall toll of Palestinians killed in Gaza since October 2023 to 52,495 people, with another 118,366 wounded.

Of that figure, at least 2,396 people have been killed and 6,325 wounded since Israel resumed onslaught on the Strip on March 18.

At least 30 Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, according to medical sources, as a result of the ongoing Israeli bombardment of the besieged territory.

Nightly attacks lit up the skies across Gaza from southern Khan Yunis to the northern part of the Strip and explosions shook the ground. In central Gaza, Israeli drones chased people from one place to another.

Three Palestinians were killed in Israeli drone attacks, two in the Daraj neighborhood of Gaza and one south of Khan Younis.

According to media reports, the recent attacks in Gaza are a reminder of the first weeks of the Israeli invasion in terms of their intensity, scale, and the amount of destruction and number of casualties.

In central and western Khan Yunis alone, the Israeli regime killed 17 people and wiped out entire families from the civil registry.

Gaza’s Civil Defense reported that an overnight Israeli strike on a family tent in Khan Yunis refugee camp killed 11 people, including three babies under the age of one.

Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Bassal said that eight of the victims had been identified. All members of the Baryam family, including two one-year-old children and a one-month-old baby were among the dead.

Two Palestinians were killed after the regime targeted their tents, one in the complex’s street, and another in the Mahatta area.

In an attack on a tent for displaced people in the Asdaa area in the north, the Israeli regime killed a four-month-old child, Hassan Abd Toman.

It also took the life of a pregnant woman, Nadine Abu Lahia, during a drone attack that targeted the Abu Hajiras family home in Khan Younis.

The report said the death toll from a previous attack on the Zarab family home in the Batn al-Sameen area had climbed to four, while rescue teams were still searching the rubble.

In Rafah, rescue teams recovered a decomposing body from the beach.

In eastern Gaza City, emergency workers tried to recover bodies stuck under the rubble after a strike targeted the Shujaiya neighborhood.

Nine members of a family were confirmed dead, with the death toll expected to rise as more bodies were being dug from under the rubble.

Reports said an infant girl died of malnutrition and dehydration at Rantisi Hospital, west of Gaza City.

The child, identified as Janan Saleh al-Sakafi, was among at least 51 Palestinians who have died of malnutrition in Gaza, according to the Gaza Media Office.

Israel has imposed a total blockade on the strip since March 2, and halted the entry of all humanitarian aid, inducing food, medical supplies, and water.

UNICEF has warned that around 335,000 children under the age of five are at risk of dying from acute malnutrition.
